[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A special education teacher does not understand classroom management and is therefore unqualified to comment on the developmental appropriateness of a kindergarten Common Core standard? [/quote]

Suggesting that a kid who has asthma stay inside while the others are at recess indicates that she is a total fraud.  She clearly does not understand how classrooms work--at least not public ones.

What do the kids with 504 plans that say they can't go outside when the air is a certain temperature, or when the pollen count is above X do at your school?

At the public school where I taught Kindergarten last year there were 4 teachers and 3 paras in K.  2 teachers and the paras went out for a.m. recess, and 2 teachers got prep time.  They'd keep the kids who couldn't go outside with them.  After lunch it flipped and the other 2 teachers and the paras went out.  To be clear, we weren't required to keep the kids with us.  We could have sent them to sit at the front desk or hang with the nurse, but we had compassion and knew they'd rather stay in the classroom where they could play with the toys or "help" the teacher.

It may have worked differently in your school, not all public schools are exactly the same. [/quote]
